Right! Who the hell cries from being yelled at? Sounds to me like there are some emotionally unstable officers out there.

Just my personal experience of what Ive seen growing up. When a man disrespects someone they eventually get checked by another man and get punched in the face but women go through life unchecked after disrespecting people and it leads them to believe behavior like this is okay.

Spot on

Promoting people to positions beyond their competence puts them in a position where they resort to anger and bullying to cover their incompetence.

Could you imagine going home to that every day

Holy crap! The old man, at least back when it was usually was a man, never got angry where the crew could see it. The captain was cool, calm, perfect and above mere mortals. The XO struck fear into the core of your existence and the chief of the boat could terrify Cthulhu back into the deep, but the captain delegated that sort of thing.

They want Guard retiree's to recruit & postpone retirement pay to come back in uniform. Are we doomed?

I can’t imagine serving in the military in this day and age….

Clearly not every person should be in leadership positions. The real sad part is how many careers did she ruin directly or indirectly with her poor job skills. I can picture some bright 18 year old sailor living this nightmare and choosing to not re-up and leaving just as soon as humanly possible. If we cannot trust our military (or civil) leaders to make the correct decisions with the small stuff, we cannot trust them to make correct decisions with the big stuff.

I had a relationship with someone like that when I worked at Stanford. She yelled at my coworkers, made them cry, threatened their employment, for no reason, and was in general, a bully. And she had to support of the management. Don’t be surprised,that isn’t at all unusual. It’s pretty much status quo.

There are generally reasons why incompetent & untalented people get ahead. A lot of times, it has to do with politics or gender. Harvard is just one example of that.

This has been happening for decades. I’m an infantry Marine who have worked side by side with the Navy and this happens on both sides. Specially when you’re new

My niece was bullied by 2 females. She told her mom, grandma, myself. WE PRAYED FOR HER. THE TWO WERE CAUGHT / CHASTISED / SHIPPED OUT 🇺🇸

Getting yelled at? Getting grabbed by the collar? That was a typical day in the Marine Corps. All jokes aside, an officer has no business putting their hands on anyone under their command, and as for the screaming, that's why the Navy has Chiefs Petty Officers.

Being yelled at after bootcamp means you have Fd up pretty good and put the ship and lives at risk (saw it several times on my carrier, and all seemed justified but were not excessive), but not for late musters, or incorrect log notes, or whatever could have been the situation! The moment she went hands on means she totally overstepped her boundaries (and the subordinate had the right to call the master at arms as witness and diffuse the situation)and at that instant the XO had the duty to relieve her, ON THE SPOT, and remove her from her position of power until they reached port, then have her removed from the ship into the JAG fold and let them immediately take action. BS. Make her live out her days regretting the embarrassment she brought on the ship and to females in service.

It's equivalent to having Napoleon complex where the man feels inadequate as a leader by being short. She feels inadequate as a leader by being female and wrongfully and horrendously took it out on her crew mates. Shame on her. I'm glad she was relieved as captain but she should be investigated further.

I sure hope the officers the guy speaks of in video as being "brought to tears" were women! Geez.

Damn. We loved our Captain. We were so proud when he got promoted to Admiral.

Lots more like her too. Huge difference between a leader and a bully.

I once worked for a guy who lost everything but his "ball bearings" in a divorce. One day, people came to me and asked if I could find out what was wrong with him. It seems his "EX" wanted half of his retirement since she lived in California. She emptied their savings, took the house and cars. Any woman that got into trouble was in the bulls eye. I had a hell of a time keeping him straight but he appreciated it. He was a good man and an outstanding officer but I could not blame him for being upset. One does not yell at senior Non-Coms. Very bad "Ju-Ju".

This centurion used his little stick, these were made from a length of grapevine, vigorously and when it broke, he demanded his orderly "give me another" in order to finsh his task of disciplining the infraction committed by this legionnairy he was pounding on.

Luckily she abused her power with so many people and if high ranking respected people, the navy finally agreed with the crew and realized they couldn't all be lying. I dealt with things like this for years in the Navy it's never about who's right or wrong it's about who articulates the best argument. Which is real sad for future recruitment.

Anytime anyone is relieved of command, that's the end of their career.

It's a good thing she wasn't ever in battle, she would crumble and blame everyone but not accept her own worthlessness.

Would the old Navy have taken care of things?

I'm a Woman Marine and USAFR Veteran. A message to all leaders: screaming, yelling, demeaning, or throwing hissy fits is NOT leadership. Leadership is setting the example; remaining calm and decisive under duress; and, being professional, ethical and fair at all times! This Officer failed the decorum test! It sounds like she carried her self-important attitude and basic training too far!! Glad she's been removed from her position. I'm all for setting high standards and accountability. But, it should be a learning and training process not a degradation episode. Serving in the military does not include being treated inhumanly.😡😡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

When I was serving, this kind of behavior would not have been acceptable.

She was handed everything all the way up the chain and everyone got out of her way. The result was an unparalleled entitlement because she thought she was untouchable. How does accountability feel, "captain?"

One CO screamed at me an hour a day whether I needed it or not. Luckily I never served under the "Borg Queen" who scolded me loudly in her office as an admiral. Some CO's are professional. Others are most highly defective.

This is what you get with " Equity" hiring.

And no one seems to be able to figure out why military service recruitment is way down.

Bad captains are a nightmare for the crew of any ship. Having served as both crew and later captain, good communication skills, fairness and consistency are essential components of leadership. A strict, even overly strict captain who is consistent, clear in his or her orders is far preferable than a seemingly good natured, but inconsistent and unpredictable commander.

people under your command would be willing to follow you to the ends of the earth not because they fear you but because they view you as competent, professional, fair, and most of all a person who is loved and respected...

Team development and leadership are critical on a war ship. She had no business being in that position.

If a man did this he would have been struck back.

The bullying and the bad leadership were the reasons I left the Navy. There are so many bad leaders in the Navy yet so many of these characters got promoted. There were some who only knew to scream and curse at their subordinates. This is noway to inspire confidence and to achieve retention

This is FAR from unique! I experienced it myself. Training sadists is a big problem. I know a retired captain (female from all outward appearances) who did the same thing.
